Beschreibung

This book masterfully bridges the gap between science and industry, offering readers invaluable insights into the technological advancements shaping our world. Amidst a profound industrial transformation aimed at minimizing environmental impact, this work highlights the pivotal role of reducing energy consumption and material waste. It aligns closely with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, encapsulating the global ambition for the coming years. The narrative delves into myriad examples of industrial evolution, showcasing how various sectors, especially energy (including electricity and oil & gas) and natural resource exploitation, are revolutionizing their processes to lessen their environmental footprint. Furthermore, each chapter of the book equips readers with the knowledge to spearhead innovative solutions tailored to these evolving processes, making it an essential resource for anyone committed to driving sustainable industrial advancements.

He is President of the Spanish CO2 Technology Platform (PETCO2), Secretary General of the Spanish Association of Magnesia Manufacturers (MAGES), member of the National Commission on Safety and Health at Work (CNSST), member of the National Mining Safety Commission (CSM). Also, he represents Spain in the European Cement Association (CEMBUREAU), is Board member of the Spanish Extractive Industries Confederation of Rocks and Industry Minerals (COMINROC), the Spanish Confederation of Mineral Raw Materials Industries (PRIMIGEA) and of the Spanish Confederation of Business Organizations (CEOE) Commissions. He has published over 55 articles in professional and scientific magazines, 24 conferences in national and international congresses, co-authoring of 15 edited technical books and main researcher and researcher in 37 research projects supported by national and European public and private institutions. F. Gabriel Acien Fernandez is a Full Professor at the University of Almería. His main research line deals with the development of microalgae-based processes for CO2 abatement and wastewater treatment and for the production of agricultural products, animal feeds, and human food. He is also interested in the valorisation of greenhouse co-products and wastes. In this sense, Prof Acién participated in a large number of international and national projects and contracts with companies. He was the coordinator of the H2020 SABANA project, focused on the sustainable production of biofertilisers and aquafeeds from waste using microalgae and is currently the Coordinator of the SABANA Demonstration Plant located in Almería. His research was presented in over 200 national and international conferences and led to the publication of over 250 scientific publications (h-index 56) and 20 book chapters; he was recently included in the Clarivate list of Highly Cited Researchers, which are those that rank in the top 1% by citations for field and publication year. He is the Editor of three books and the inventor of 10 patents being exploited by large wastewater processors and producers of microalgae and microalgae-based products. Prof Acién is a highly recognised researcher being Vice-president of the European Algae Biomass Association and a permanent member of the Scientific Committee of the International Society for Applied Phycology (ISAP) and Sociedad Latinoamericana de Biotecnología Ambiental y Algal (SOLABIAA). Prof Acién has been invited to teach courses in several Universities including the University of Malaga, the University of Seville, the International University ofAndalusia and other Universities in South America and Europe. He is an active project evaluator for ANEP, H2020, and Horizon Europe and has evaluated proposals for other institutions. He is a member of the Editorial Board of high impact factor journals including Algal Research and the Journal of Applied Phycology. Moreover, he has participated in the COST Actions PARAQUA (Applications for zoosporic parasites in aquatic systems) and EU4ALGAE (European network for algal-bioproducts)
